Please (Single Version)

So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace

And you never felt wanted till you'd someone slap your face

And you never felt alive until you'd almost wasted away

You had to win, you couldn't just pass

The smartest ass at the top of the class

Your flying colours, your family tree

And all your lessons in history

Please, please, please

Get up off your knees, now

Please, please, please

Leave it out

So you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call

And you never knew what was on the ground until they made you crawl

So you never knew that the Heaven you keep, you stole

Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes

Your stick-on tattoos, now they're making the news

Your holy war, your northern star

Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car

Please, please, please

Get up off your knees, now

Please, please, please

Leave it out

'Cause love is pain

And love is tough

But love is not

What you're thinking of

September, streets capsizing

Spilling over and down the drains

Shards of glass splinters like rain

But you could only feel your own pain

October, talk getting nowhere

November, December, remember

We just started again

Please, please, please

Get up off your knees, now

Please

'Cause love is big

Is bigger than us

But love is not

What you're thinking of

It's what lovers deal

It's what lovers steal

You know I've found it hard to receive

'Cause you, my love

I could never believe
